PEOPLE.
ALTOGETHER 16,000 ACRES BE

WAS SOLD.
Messrs. Blobs ten, texidig Cos.
the well known Brunswick real es
tate, dealers, closed another large deal
yesterday, whereby Messrs. Cassius
F. Sm.th. formerly of Wisconsin, and
now president of the Oemulgoe River
Lumber company, ami Mr. Frank S.
Snell, trie wholesale lumber dealer of
Milwaukee, becomes purchasers id
10,000 acres of timber land located in
Giynu county, belonging to Messrs.
W. R. Townsend and J. a. Warn.
This land is located at Bladen,
Crispend island, six-mile crossing
Tnalmanu and other sections of the
county, and is among the most val
uable timber land in southeast Goor
la‘ .V.V,
This deal means much for Bruns
wick arong industrial lintg-i for tne
gentlemen and their associates wno
have purchased the property propose
to erect a large saw mill, box factory
and planing mill at some point on
the purchase lands, the site of which
is to be determined iater.
Mr. Snell was seen by a represen
tative of The News before leaving
tor Milwaukee last night, and, when
questioned on the subject, said;
"It is true that we nave purchased
the 16.000 acres referred to, and it
is cur purpose to immediately erect
an up to date, twentieth century saw
and planing mill, box factory and gen
eral wood working establishment. We
are very much impressed with Bruns
wick. and if the city will treat liber
ally with us In the matter of tax
exemptions and other concessions, we
w.ll locate the mill within the city
limits of Brunswick, and you may say
that we will employ at least 200
hands.”
Wheip Mr. smith was questionctn
he corroborated all that Mr. Snell
had said. Both of these gentlemen
returned to their respective homes
last night, but will leturu to Bruns
wick shortly, when the preliminary
arrangements for the construction of
iho mill will b made.
In this connection it is a pleasure
to chronicle the fact' that Messrs.
Brobston, Fendig <si Cos. have been
instrumental in bringing many new
enterprises ami a large amount ol
capital into Brunswick and south
generally, but their greatest
sco#: of entcrpi i:,f was the sale ol
the Vale Royal mills and Umber lauds
n bpvannah last week. This was
me of the largest real estate deals ever
=nade hi south Georgia, ami tin: fact
that the property in question is lo
ut, and outside of Brunswick'has made
the deal more notable and has made
t'te firm a subject of genera! congrat
ulation.
.ta an evidence of the many enter*
irises in which they are interested
t may bo l of interest to say that at.
ihe last meeting of city council a
street car franchise was granted at
heir inauirce, and to a News report
Jr yesterday both members of the
irm expressed themselves as being
.ally satisfied Unit a fuli-iledged trol
ey line would b: in operation in
Brunswick within the present year.
These energetic young gentlemen
save other important deals in
course of culmination and in the
course of a lew days they will prob
ibiy announce other transactions
I meaning more industries for tins city.
In tiie meantime Brunswick scums
:o have caught tue industrial inspira
tion and new tactories, new railroads,
tnd new business enterprises of every
character are daily being launched
into the business world.
